Is there a barrier between you and love? Are you carrying crosses that have nothing to do with you? Are you being victimized by you? These are the questions T.D. Jakes asks in his sermon, “Removing the Barrier to Destiny.”
coming up on the Potters touch are you
blaming yourself for things that that
are not within your control do you
understand like a child
are you carrying weights and crosses
that had nothing to do with you that
were completely out of your control are
you being victimized by you this is the
part
greetings brothers and sisters in the
name of Jesus Christ our King I am so
glad to have this opportunity once again
to share the word of the Lord with you
I’m talking about removing barriers to
destiny you know that sometimes things
just they just get in the way that they
lock you down and you can’t figure out
why you’re stuck like this you didn’t
get to where you are about one single
incident in life a series of steps
brought you in to where you are and it’s
going to take a series of steps to bring
you back out I call them destiny steps
as we go into the Word of God today
let’s take the first step to removing
barriers to destiny
take a look are you blocking love this
is the love chapter giving it receiving
it attaining it is there a barrier is
there a reason people don’t like you
or is there a reason that you can’t like
them what’s the blockage could there be
something that stops you from suffering
long enduring seeking not your own is
there something a barrier right in the
middle of the dissertation about love he
says when I was a child I spake as a
child I understood of a child and I
thought in the child but when I became a
man I put away childish things
I put away childish things
I sprang to the child I understood as a
child I thought of the child sprague
understood thought hmm spake understood
thought s you t such spake understood
thought spake understood thought F UT
systems under test this is how you test
your systems you test your systems
through how you speak how you understand
and how you think
if if your life is not reaching
unexpected in do you have the courage to
test your systems because your systems
need to go under test is it the way you
speak the way you understand or the way
you think that is stopping you from
becoming what God would have you be it
is not the way you look look at how much
time you spend on how you look you work
so hard on how you look and there are
people who don’t have the features you
do who are much happier than you you
find but you miserable
you got your eyebrows large but you’re
not happy you have challenged the way
God made your ass more than you have
challenged the way you think they look
pretty but can they see
I’m not preaching against pretty I’m
just trying to say have you tested your
systems because I find that people are
loyal to this function they will fight
you to hold on to a system that’s not
working that’s just the way I am speak
for yourself
that’s me what if me isn’t working how
long will you hold on to a dysfunctional
system and let life pass you by the
system that is killing you is how you
speak how you understand and how you
think now we get into it now we get into
it the way you speak the way you
understand and the way you think is your
system and your system is blocking the
rain
when I was a child I spake as a child I
understood as a child I thought as a
child but when I became a man I put away
childish things
good God a mercy I try not to unload it
too fast what we’re dealing with is an
immature inner life an immature inner
life not outer life the outer life is
maturing but the inner life has not
could it be possible don’t odd don’t nod
don’t move because you no wonder I know
that inside you’re still a child
reacting to stimulus like a child
understanding your life like a child a
child the reason that children go
through trauma when when they’re young
and people divorce is that children
think it’s all their fault
are you blaming yourself for things that
that are not within your control do you
understand like a child
are you carrying weights and crosses
that had nothing to do with you that
were completely out of your control are
you being victimized by you
i spake i understood i thought such when
I was a child I spake of the child I
understood it a child and I thought of
the child that’s all cool he’s supposed
to when the inventory is supposed to
speak into understanding mature and
think immature here’s the problem the
problem comes with the but the blood
says when I became a man okay I put away
childish things
the buck tells me that it is the fact
that I became a man and then put away
childish things
not I put away childish things and that
made me a man come over here can you
think with me oh you’ve got to be my
daughter if you got what I just said
because most people think if I can put
away the childish things I’ll be a man
he said I became a man and still had a
childish system that had to be put away
because what was appropriate as a system
is now inappropriate because I have
outgrown the way I speak the way I
understand oh god help me and the way I
think I have outgrown the way I speak
the way I understand and the way that I
think I’m too big to be bound by this
system I’m too big to be bound by this
system I am bigger than the system the
system can’t put me away I must put it
away and so this is the significant
thing this is how things it’s good see
so so what I got down into is when I
became a man since the childish things
were there for me to put them away that
means that I can be I can develop to a
point that all of a sudden I am
developed outwardly but not inwardly are
you a man or woman loyal to a system of
a child and are you waiting on the
system to leave or would you put it away
the put away in the childish things
phrase is the same Greek word that is
used in verse 10 for done away when they
talk about you we prophesy apart we see
in part and all of that is done away the
same Greek word is used here it carries
the idea that cessation has not occurred
but functionality is severely limited it
is not putting it away like destroying
it but it does mean that I put it away
to the point
that is functionality is severely
limited so the the childish speech the
understanding and the thinking is still
existent but it is severely limited from
operating in my life
wait wait I’m gonna talk to you in a
minute but I want to put this iPad away
I put it away so I could talk to you I
put it away means I still know where it
is
it still exists but because it was
restricting me from being able to reach
you grab your neighbor and shake them
and wake them up and say you can put it
away you put it away you can put it away
you can put it away you can put it away
you can put it away before you lose this
opportunity you can put it away because
if you don’t change your system you will
lose the opportunity what I’m trying to
say if you don’t put it in a way it will
put you away if you don’t put it away it
will put you away it’ll put away
promotions it’ll put away progress it’ll
put away love it’ll put away life no
wonder Paul brings this up about love if
you don’t change your system it will put
love life prosperity it will all put it
away still to come on the Paris touch
and in order to go to a noona moment we
got to get put away all things all
systems

I want to think are you carrying weights
and crosses that had nothing to do with

when I was a child I thought as a child
I spake of the child I understood as a
child but when I became a man I put away
childish things I put away the systems
now you can’t put it away if you’re
holding on to it if you’re defending it
are you defending something that’s
killing you are you defending something
this kept don’t take it away leave me
alone get out of my face I’ll tapped
into my head are you are you defending a
system that is poisoning your water have
you ever noticed for how long you’ve
been here you have not accomplished what
you think is your destined purpose it
must be your system it must be your
system I speak in the child I understood
in the child I thought better child and
I speak what do I say what what am I
saying
what’s coming out of my mouth this
childish
the power life and death is in the
tongue what is coming out of my mouth
that is poisoning my opportunities can I
teach this thing God wants you to change
the way you speak
the one I really wanted to get to is the
way you understand the way you
understand the thing determines your
expected in and let me I ask God to give
me a way to tell on earth the way you
understand have you ever been mad at
somebody about something you thought
they meant and then when you called him
up if you talk to him you found out he
was completely wrong and immediately the
relationship was prepared it was
repaired through understanding the
person is still the same you are still
the same but the way you perceive the
thing has shame and the relationship is
healed look at how powerful
understanding is understanding is the
truth you stand under it is the truth
you stand under it is your version of
what happened it is your version of
what’s wrong it is your version of what
needs to be fixed and you could be
hindering the blessing of God because of
your version of your life what you
choose to see about your life what you
choose to focus on because we all
remember what happened but we all
emphasize different aspects of what
happened if you don’t believe that call
a family meeting and let everybody have
something to say about what happened
last September we will all there we all
know it but how we perceive it
Wow no yeah Lord thank you thank you he
said that’s why I said in all that
getting get an understanding as a
minister as a counselor as a pastor I
have learned that you cannot help people
that you do not understand you can’t
just start throwing random answers at
people you got to listen before you
speak do you not know that when you go
to a counselor all they do is help you
to understand you
you paid 299 dollars an hour to get them
to give you a different perspective on
what happened to you
I’m not against counseling I think it’s
a wonderful thing I think it’s a very
powerful thing and I would get it before
I would miss the rain I would get it
every day before I would miss the rain
but you could cut down the learning
curve if you would break the habit of
always going back to the old system of
processing what’s going on in your life
because I think in your adult life your
little child is talking I’m gonna get
out of here let me get it let’s go to
Galatians let’s go to the Galatians 4 1
& 2 now I say that the air as long as he
is a child different nothing from a
servant as long as you are a child you
are differing nothing from a slave you
are a slave to the system though he be
Lord of all law he he he different
nothing from a slave honest though he be
Lord of all he cannot operate in his
lordship because of his system his flock
in the rain is blocking the blessing he
living like a slave though he be Lord of
all and he is under tutors and governors
until the time appointed of his father
because of his immaturity
he is under people all they can’t handle
this i’ma try y’all
he is under people that he should be
over you
preacher here i’ma say it again
he is under people that he should be
over but until he grows up he cannot
inherit what is rightfully his and
you’re following people you ought to be
leading high five did somebody say that
man is preaching this morning somebody
shall put it away
good god of us put it away I don’t know
why I gotta put it away I gotta put it
away I gotta put it away I gotta put it
away
I got a distance myself from it I gotta
separate myself from it I gotta get it
out of me I gotta move it aside
I gotta resist the temptation to reacts
in my old system
I gotta feel it and resist it till his
ceases to be mine
slap some Isaac put it away I will sit
down i’ma talk to you minute one more
minute one moment I gotta get this cuz
we got to put it away we got to put it
away we got to put it away first we got
to know that it is not us
Oh God
can we embrace the fact that it is not
us the way I speak the way I understand
and the way I think is not me it’s a
system I can survive without it until
you know that you won’t kill it because
you’ll think killing it is killing you
which stops you from being the new you
we go into a new normal and in order to
go to a new normal we got to get put
away old things
old systems childish responses how do I
put it away I can hear you I can hear
you saying that foul how go deeper into
how do I put it away
you cannot put away number one what you
do not identify you got to identify it
every time it shows up and say you know
what that’s that’s not the way I want to
understand it that’s not the way I want
to speak about it and that’s not the way
I want to think so when the thoughts
come I have to resist the thoughts that
come the Bible said once you identify if
you resist number two if you resist him
he will flee this is resistance training
it’s pulling against it that’s going to
make you strong
every time it comes to control how you
speak how you understand or how you
think the Bible said if you resist it
will flee the more you resist it
it’ll flee the more you cut the thought
of and aborted it will die the less you
speak out what you thought it will go
away the more you challenge how you
understand it and say maybe it’s not
that way the less power it will have to
be your truth any longer
I got to close right now it’s been a
real joy to share the word of the Lord
with you and to begin to discuss what
I’ve been
getting our flock about taking the steps
that you need removing the barriers
entanglement so you can walk in the full
Wester of who you are in God if not now
when
if not you who what are you waiting on
you need to step into alignment with
God’s Word I’m so committed to this and
so convicted by this that I that I put
together a book called destiny because I
believe that this stage in your life is
a destiny stage and I’ve got the steps
to help you get there why don’t you
order a copy live and experience the
power of God moving in your life in a
personal impression way I know many of
you are coming to megafest will have
some coffees there as well but if you
want to go ahead and order now you can
if not leave me a mega fence I’ll I’ll
have something there I want this to be a
meeting and event a decision that sets
you on the road to your destiny I want
to make sure that when you leave here
that you leave here on a whole nother
level
you don’t have to live in the dark
feeling like you never know what to do
God will leave you and guys
direction is not so addendum he’s not
just oh Jesus do you know how sure has
language I just need to reach want to
just reach back and dig in and see what
God did in your life’s and it’ll give
you a clue about where you’re going now
every day you wake up and you’re adding
to the kingdom you’re subtracting from
hell and that’s why the devil can’t
stand you another there’s a force on the
planet much rather than the facts and
it’s called the truth of the word of God
the anointing is coming on your life to
change your season and like me I want
you to understand that what God thought
about you it’s truer than what you
thought about you and I want to walk you
down the road and I want to let it rain
down on your head and to what he thinks
about you begins to hit the ground and
you become seed to the sower and bread
to the eater and people are glad to see
you coming blessed is he who cometh in
the name of the Lord they’re gonna be
glad to see you coming because God is
gonna make bread out of your life you’ve
been crushed
you’ve been pressed you’ve been
pulverized but God said I’m gonna make
you bread I’m gonna make you nourish
matter I’m gonna make you strength to
somebody
this is the bomb
